And the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; where a wall fell on twenty-seven thousand of the men who were left. And Ben-Hadad fled and came into the city, into an inner chamber.

How long will you assail a man? You shall be slain, all of you, like a bowing wall and a tottering fence.

Because, indeed, because they have seduced My people, saying, Peace! when there is no peace; and one builds a wall, and plasters it with whitewash.

Surely, when the wall has fallen, will it not be said to you, Where is the mortar with which you plastered it?

Thus I will break down the wall you have plastered with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation will be uncovered; it will fall, and you shall be consumed in the midst of it. And you shall know that I am Jehovah.

and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.

But he who hears and does not act is like a man who builds a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream bursts; and immediately it falls. And the ruin of that house is great.

And the multitude of your strangers shall be like fine dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passes away; yea, it shall be in an instant, suddenly.

How have they been brought to desolation, as in a moment! They are fully brought to an end with destruction,

like a dream when one awakes; so, O Lord, when You awake, You shall despise their image.

A man who hardens his neck when reproved shall be suddenly broken, and there will be no healing.

But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you.

For when they say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall by no means escape.
